CAPPA CPD Luncheon: 

What’s Up with Saskatchewan

Measurement?

March 23, 2016
11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Venue: University of Calgary, Downtown Campus, 906 – 8th Ave. SW, Calgary

Check lobby screen for event room number.

At this time, we have moved our CPD Luncheons to the U of C downtown campus at the corner of 8th St SW and 8th Ave SW.   With the current economic environment and corresponding lower member attendance we have needed to secure a more cost efficient venue.  The U of C downtown campus has very nice luncheon meeting space and catering allowing us to avoid increasing participant fees.  The location is also just steps away from the LRT stations.  Join us for great presentations, an opportunity to connect with colleagues and a superb meal.

Presentation Summary:

Saskatchewan is implementing enhanced oil and gas measurement requirements (Directive PNG017) and the Enhanced Production Audit Program (EPAP – PNG076) effective 1 April 2016. Yogi Schulz and Clay Long will provide an update on:

  1. Changes to measurement and reporting requirements.
  2. Introduction of EPAP requirements.
  3. Operator implementation actions.

Presentation Description:

Yogi Schulz will present a summary of the changes to Saskatchewan’s measurement requirements. He will recap the process used to update the measurement requirements. The Saskatchewan Directive PNG017 was finalized in early 2015 and will be implemented effective 1 April 2016. ECON has provided operators with a four-year implementation period to remediate measurement where needed at their Saskatchewan properties.

Clay Long will present the development approach for the new Saskatchewan EPAP requirements in Directive PNG076 and the Guideline for Implementing and Operating the EPAP for Mid-Size and Small Operators. He will discuss the implementation plan including assignment of declaration months and the trial declaration.
